Please Come HomeDad, why are you so quiet, Staring at the door. Didn't you hear me calling you.Please Come Home
We watched the fireworks Streak across the sky Blues and reds Didn't you think I'd see you cry
I saw you cringe And go
Thousands of miles
Away from me.
You sent back photos Desert rocks Perfume. Of places I never knew.
At night you'd tell stories Of places I never knew Then sometimes you'd grow quiet And I knew I should too.
Mom said to give you time. It's been months. I'm waiting still. A part of
The Approach of the Dragon.
